Wheel experts: Any way to (safely) un-chrome alloy rims?

Let's say that you have a set of fairly valuable factory alloy wheels that were chromed and you want to return them to factory finish. I know that it's possible to dip them in something(?) and remove the chrome and then start over with paint/clear but I've always been under the belief that this compromises the metal(?)...

Obviously I have no experience actually having this done. Most alloy wheels are common and cheap enough to make it a moot point, you simply find a good used set of factory finish wheels and switch them. These rims would be expensive if you could find them. I absolutely hate chrome wheels. TIA.
